The Preservation ProcessThe Wedding
Gown Preservation Company puts the highest degree of
professional care into the heirloom processing of your
gown. First, we examine your gown to find all spots. A
detailed Quality Control Report is updated through each
and every step. We use proven formulas to remove spots
and treat the entire gown for sugar stains. Your gown is
thoroughly cleaned with extra attention given to the
neckline, trim and hemlines.Our experts shape the gown,
position a full bust form and fill the sleeves. It is
then wrapped in acid-free tissue (Celebrity Kit is
wrapped in unbleached muslin), and fitted carefully into
a preservation chest with an acid-free display window.
The preservation chest is then enclosed in a 700 lb.-test
shipping carton.Your gown is then shipped back to you
pre-paid anywhere in the Continental United States via
Fed Ex Ground. The preservation process will be completed
in 2-6 weeks after we receive it. Please Note: During the
height of our busy season the preservation process may
take slightly longer. Repairs or additional services
requested may also extend the processing time.Questions
